per row of Southern white corn in drills
three fee. apart, and keraals from six to
eight inches apart in the drills. The var
icty will keep in perfect feeding condi-
ton all tho time from July Is to Oct. l,
or until frosts will kili IL. Northern var
ietes OF corn ripen too early and the
ieaves Will die too soon. This feed keeps
the quality OF butter so perfect that our
CITY experts who purchase the Jefferson
dreamer butter, cannot tell when the
change Is made. No dairy farmer can
AFFORD to do without IL, Ror should he
neglect this crop of ensilage corn for
winter dairyIng. The common white
corn OF the south only costs from 40 to
90 cents per bushel IN Louisville or
Nashville, and farmers will do best to
combine and secure carload at time
Tor seed. Eight quarts per acre is plen-
ty for seed; only used six quarts, and
nave splendid crop to-day which l am
now putting IN silo, after having used
what needed since July 10 for day feed.
THAT HORSE TANNING SECRET.
Apropos of "Horse Whispering" a
correspondent of st. James Gazette
points out that the mystery is very simply
explained by Borrow. Here are his words
in "Romany Rye" II knew a cob in
Ireland that could be driven to a state of
kicking madness by particular word
used by particular person in a particu-
lar tone; but that word was connected
with very painful operation which had
been performed upon him by that in
dividual, who had frequently EN- ployed it
at certain period while the animsl had
been under his treatment. The same cob
cnuld hn s0nthaA in I,,o
word used by the same individual in a
very different kind of tone-the word
'deaghblasda,' or sweet-tasted. Some
time after the operation, while the cob
was yet under his hands, the fellow-who
was what the Irish call fairy smith-had
done all he could to soothe the creature,
and had at last succeeded by giving it
gingerbread buttons, of which the cob
became passionately fond. Invariably,
however, before giving it button he said
'Deaghblasda,' with which word the cob
by degrees associated an idea of unmixed
enjoyment. So, if he could rouse the cob
to madness by the wovd which recalled
the torture to its remembrance, he could
easily soothe it by the other word, which
the cob knew would be instantly followed
by the button, which the smith never
failed to give him after using the word
'deaghblasda.'
THE LAND QUESTION IN POLAND.
The land question is coming every
where to the front. At the yearly con-
gress of the Polish ju-ists and political
economists, which has just met at era
COW, the principal topic of debate was
the so-called inner colonization" The
Jdrlsts and economists all but unanimous
ly accepted the positions formulated by
DIR. Won Dentmirski, of Warsaw, insisting
upon the necessity of breaking up the
huge uncultivated estates of the great
landowners and the creation of numer-
Gus class of small landowners-the So
called inner colonizors." 1t is stated in
one of the resolutions that the great land
owners would themselves be benefited by
the project, as they already have econo
mlcal ruin staring them in the face" 1t
was said that colonization" would not
destroy the social position of the great
landholders, as the example of West
Prussia and the Grand nuchy of Posen
cons lcuousiy prove. The great matter
for the nation is that its lands should
come lpto the hands OF those whose in
terest it will be to make them profitable
to the whole community. A commission
was appointed to draw up report on
Home Colonization in Poland" The
little canton and republic of Aargau-
1.-The caution of culture," as its sons proud
ly call it's to be congratulated upon its
admirable housekeeping. Although its
population has increased since the last
centenal stock taking, its Epaupers have
meanwhile decreased to the number of
twenty -seven, and its poor-houses have
been reduced by three.
POLLUTING STREAMS.
The supreme court of Maine has de-
cided that the right to pollute a stream
may be acquired by prescription. Where
one has acquired a right to use a natural
stream as a covered drain, that right is
not taken away, though it may be cur
tailed, by the act of the municipal auth
